Creepy! Bizarre photo album of Condi Rice found in Gaddafi's compound

I thought America's "enemies" were supposed to hate us, not be infatuated with our Secretaries of State! As Libyan rebels seized Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound, they made an odd discovery:

“Deeply bizarre and deeply creepy.”

That’s how the State Department is describing a surprising find inside the compound of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi: a photo album with pictures of Condoleezza Rice.

Rebel fighters who ransacked Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound have been turning up some bizarre loot, including the Libyan leader's eccentric fashion accessories and his daughter's golden mermaid couch. The latest discovery is a photo album filled with page after page of pictures of Rice, the former secretary of state who visited Tripoli in 2008.

...

Though maybe the discovery isn't that surprising. Over the years, the Libyan leader's comments and actions related to the former secretary of state have raised a few eyebrows.

Consider how he talked about her in an interview with Al-Jazeera television in 2007, where he hinted that then-President George W. Bush's top diplomat wielded considerable influence in the Arab world.

"I support my darling black African woman," he said. "I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin."
